DUI/DWI clients who're taking part in alcohol and drug treatment centers are generally there on their own accord, but generally in alcohol and drug rehabilitation due to a mandatory court ruling. DUI/DWI clients, especially initial offenders could possibly be required to go to rehab either in place of other penalties or as part of their sentence. DUI/DWI clients will benefit greatly from treatment rather than being punished for their crimes, and so can the judicial system. It has been determined that those who are treated for drug abuse issues as an alternative to other penalties being enforced upon them have greater odds of remaining out of the court system than people who find themselves fined, ordered to prison time, etc. In alcohol and drug treatment programs DUI/DWI clients can establish why they abuse drugs and alcohol, so that they can address these problems in order to find resolution to the actual conditions and circumstances inside their lives which prompt their substance abuse. This can certainly save lives, not only the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but people that may be affected by their drug abuse should they drive while under the influence later on. It is a real second chance for DUI/DWI clients.
